Bi-Carb Soda

[icyfroth]

I used some on my kitchen benchtop as per my neighbour's recommendation. Came up a treat!

Then I used it on the floor. It lifted a lot of grime off I didn't even realise was there!

Didn't like using it in the bathroom though. I took heaps off rinsing to get the white residue off.

I like the microfibre sponges for the bathroom.

I put 1/2 cup of bi-carb soda in washing machine with the clothes, gets out stains and also softens the clothes.

I always added a pinch to my peas,just copying what my mum used to do!!

It brings out the colour of the peas, so I hear.

The only time I use it in cooking is when I make a banana cake. I haven't done any baking in ages though.

I always have a sm open container of bi carb in the fridge to absorb any odours.  I microware my frozen peas, they seem to stay nice n green, I dont put anything in my cokking at all

it's good stuff isn't it.  Some great tips here. I use it for cleaning silver too. Isn't it interesting how some of the old basic pantry things make such good cleaners

Most of the "Commercial Cleaners " are basically Bi Carb with a bit of smelly stuff added.  I use Bi Carb & Lemon Juice to clean most of my household stuff. 🙂

When I think about it Horizon, most of the cleaning products I buy do have bicarb in them

I use Bi-Carb to give the kitchen sinks a bit of a shine.  It removes the tea stains from where I have dropped my tea bag into it.

To clean silver jewellery, scrunch up some alfoil and place in a bowl/plastic container.  Put jewellery in.  Sprinkle heavily with Bi-Carb and pour on boiling water.  It shifts the tarnish off.

It works a treat on burnt saucepans too!
